Helpful Resources for Your Toyota MR2 Paint Repair

Find Your MR2 Color & Paint Code

Toyota made it pretty easy to find the color code. On all models, there
is an color ID plate on the drivers door jamb. When you locate it, it will
have the letters C/TR and then the three digit paint code follows. You can
match this color code up with what you find on our site. You may see
something like:

C/TR 3P1 FA09

So the color code is 3P1 and the FA09 has nothing to do with the color
code. These additional codes can cause confusion but they are really just
interior option codes.

Example of a Toyota's Color Id Tag and Color Code Location
The color code in the example image above is "1F7".

You can see the actual code location and color plate in the following pictures of a 2010 Toyota Prius

Toyota, like all manufacturers, uses the exact same color across many
models and then will have a different color name for each model. It's the
same paint! This is why the color code is so important to order
the correct paint.

For example, 3P1 above we call Impulse Red
Metallic Clearcoat. It could also be called Red Metallic Clearcoat, Wine
Metallic Clearcoat, etc. depending on what
the marketing department decided to call it. You can also find your color
code by calling your dealer with your VIN. They can bring up the
exact vehicle you bought and tell you the color code. You can also try calling Toyota at 1-800-331-4331.
